Plymouth Township is one of the oldest townships in Montgomery County, dating back to 1686. The earliest village, Plymouth Meeting, was the home of the Plymouth Friends Meeting House which still stands today as a symbol of the township’s history. The network of transportation routes helped in the establishment of lime kilns and quarries. Today, as in days past, the township’s location has attracted business and industry. With the completion of the Mid-County Expressway (Blue Route), which connects the Philadelphia International Airport and Route I-95 with the greater Plymouth Meeting/Norristown area, the township is expected to see additional office and commercial development. It is possible for residents and businesses in the township to have a Norristown, Conshohocken, or even a Blue Bell mailing address.
